Future Folk Horror: Contemporary Anxieties and Possible Futures
analyzes folk horror by looking at its recent popularity in novels
and films such as The Witch (2015), and Candyman (2021). Countering
traditional views of the genre as depictions of the monstrous,
rural, and pagan past trying to consume the present, the
contributors to this collection posit folk horror as being able to
uniquely capture the anxieties of the twenty-first century, caused
by an ongoing pandemic and the divisive populist politics that have
arisen around it. Further, this book shows how, through its
increasing intersections with other genres such as science fiction,
the weird, and eco-criticism as seen in films and texts like The
Zero Theorum (2013), The Witcher (2007–21), and Annihilation
(2018) as well as through its engagement with topics around climate
change, racism, and identity politics, folk horror can point to
other ways of being in the world and visions of possible futures.
